Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham….
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) on Sunday said Democrats must “quit lying” about the cost of the Build Back Better Act and called for the House to revote on the massive social spending package.
Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Graham claimed that the electric vehicle tax credits included in the bill would exacerbate inflation and hurt companies like BMW and Volvo. Both companies have recently announced commitments to rolling out new electric vehicles, with Volvo aiming to be all electric by 2030.
“The last thing I’m going to do is add more burdens to working families in South Carolina. And here’s my message to the Democratic Party: Quit lying about this bill. They should re-vote it in the House,” said Graham. “We need to stop Build Back Better before it destroys this country.”…
…
When pressed on Sunday on his decision to pass the 2017 tax cuts, Graham shot back, asking host Chris Wallace, “What’s that got to do with anything?”
“We voted knowing that cutting taxes we believe would be good. I never said that cutting taxes… I voted for cutting taxes. I’m against expanding the government,” said Graham….
Note…
Chris Wallace gets his parting shot at Fox , eh?
Then there is Sen. Roger Marshall(Trumpidiot- Kansasa) who says his election was fair and square but then baselessly casts doubt on Bidens election.
We need a full “audit” of this Trump clowns last election!
Who knows what chicanery and thievery went on there?
CHUCK TODD (Meet the Press)
… But I’m curious of this, senator. Bob Dole conceded the election in 1996. The last president has not. What could the former president learn from Bob Dole?
SEN. ROGER MARSHALL:
Well, listen, I think that this is an issue of election integrity. And I think that’s what’s really important to Americans across the nation. We value the ballot and the ballot booth. We want election integrity. There’s a lot of controversy out there and I’m focused right now on making it easier to vote and harder to cheat. I think that’s the focus right now.
CHUCK TODD:
Well, i want to actually – Bob Dole, one of the last interviews he gave was in July to USA Today. He actually was asked about the former president and he said this, “He lost the election, and I regret that he did, but they did. He had Rudy Giuliani running all over the country claiming fraud. He never had one bit of fraud in all those lawsuits he filed and statements he made. I’m a Trumper. I’m sort of Trumped out, though.” You voted – you stood with those that didn’t want to certify the election. Do you regret that now, considering all the crazy, cockamamie things that Mark Meadows and others were doing?
SEN. ROGER MARSHALL:
Look, I’m always going to stand up for election integrity. I want to make sure that every state obeys their own laws and obeys their own constitution, especially in a time of crisis. So, that’s what’s at risk for me right now is maintaining the integrity of that election. And I’m going to do everything I can going forward to make sure that those elections have even more safety valves in it, that there’s higher levels of integrity. Americans value the sanctity of that ballot booth.
CHUCK TODD:
Do you believe you were elected fair and square in 2020?
SEN. ROGER MARSHALL:
You know, absolutely I do. I think Kansas has some of the tightest election laws in the land. We went back and looked at that to make sure that it was a safe and fair election. So proud of our secretary of state, so proud of our county clerks and those people that volunteer, checking the IDs to make sure that every person got one vote. Just really proud of how Kansas could do it. Other states can look and see how Kansas does it.
CHUCK TODD:
And do you believe that Joe Biden was elected fair and square?
SEN. ROGER MARSHALL:
You know, Joe Biden was sworn into office. I called him Mr. President since the day he was —
CHUCK TODD:
You didn’t answer the question.
SEN. ROGER MARSHALL:
– sworn in. I still remain concerned about election – I still remain concerned about election integrity. I think that we need to go back and look at what — did the states obey their own laws? Did they obey their own constitution?
CHUCK TODD:
The New York Times says a bunch of senators were briefed on this supposed PowerPoint and other ideas that the former White House chief of staff was circulating. Were you briefed by some of these things before January 6, some of these arguments about the Chinese controlling 28 states and things like that?
SEN. ROGER MARSHALL:
You know, not at all. I never – I’ve heard that story. I don’t know if there’s any truth to that at all. So, no, I haven’t.
